Environmental Issues
Thank you for buying a product which contributes to a reduction in
pollution, and thereby helps save the environment. Our products
reduce the need for travel and transport and thereby reduce
pollution. Our products have either none or few consumable
parts (chemicals, toner, gas, paper). Our products are low energy
consuming products.
TANDBERG’s Environmental Policy
Environmental stewardship is important to TANDBERG’s culture.
As a global company with strong corporate values, TANDBERG
is committed to following international environmental legislation
and designing technologies that help companies, individuals and
communities creatively address environmental challenges.
TANDBERG’s environmental objectives are to:
Develop products that reduce energy consumption, CO

emissions, and traffic congestion.
Provide products and services that improve quality of life for
•
our customers.
Produce products that can be recycled or disposed of safely at
•

European Environmental Directives
As a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment TANDBERG
is responsible for compliance with the requirements in the European
Directives 2002/96/EC (WEEE) and 2002/95/EC (RoHS).
The primary aim of the WEEE Directive and RoHS Directive is
to reduce the impact of disposal of electrical and electronic
equipment at end-of-life. The WEEE Directive aims to reduce
the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration
by requiring producers to arrange for collection and recycling.
The RoHS Directive bans the use of certain heavy metals and
brominated flame retardants to reduce the environmental impact
of WEEE which is landfilled or incinerated.
TANDBERG has implemented necessary process changes to
comply with the European RoHS Directive (2002/95/EC) and the
European WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC).
Waste Handling
In order to avoid the dissemination of hazardous substances in our
environment and to diminish the pressure on natural
resources, we encourage you to use the appropriate
take-back systems in your area. Those systems will
reuse or recycle most of the materials of your end of
life equipment in a sound way.
TANDBERG products put on the market after August
2005 are marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin
symbol that invites you to use those take-back systems.
Please contact your local supplier, the regional waste
administration or
http://www.tandberg.net/recycling
if you need
more information on the collection and recycling system in your
area.
Information for Recyclers
As part of compliance with the European WEEE Directive,
TANDBERG provides recycling information on request for all types
of new equipment put on the market in Europe after 13 August
2005.

Digital User Guides
TANDBERG is pleased to announce that we have replaced the
printed versions of our User Guides with a digital CD version.
Instead of a range of different user manuals, there is now one
CD—which can be used with all TANDBERG products—in a variety
of languages. The environmental benefits of this are significant.
The CDs are recyclable and the savings on paper are huge. A
simple web-based search feature helps you directly access the
information you need. In addition, the TANDBERG video systems
now have an intuitive on-screen help function, which provides a
range of useful features and tips. The contents of the CD can still
be printed locally, whenever needed.
